About the Poetry

All of the poems in this blog are spirit-inspired. Every word came to me each day for a full year while in deep meditation. I simply wrote what I heard onto a pad of paper in my lap with eyes closed – meaningful, multi-stanza verses in mere minutes. I was unaware of each poem’s theme until I transcribed it later word for word. Each day brought new and wondrous discoveries about the world beyond our five physical senses, incredible wisdom, and messages of hope which I share with you in this blog. The last poems received are displayed below on this page, but the entire collection of 365+ poems are archived here in the left-hand column. You can search by topic or keyword using the search box in the upper left corner. May you find among them just the right message which speaks to your heart.

Poem #34 - True Beauty

Beauty comes in many formsOn the earth you have your normsBut when one doesn’t measure upYou see it with scorn.Push it asideAttempt to hideThat which you label uglyHow unkind!Don’t you see?All is beautiful in God’s eyeNothing ever passes byThat the Great Spirit doesn’tPlace his touch upon itGraces itHe places itIn your sightTo wonder at his mightThat he could take a tiny seedAnd let it grow into a weedOr tall into a treeOr even stand and walk like we didWhen we walked upon the earthAs you have since your birthBut here with our new viewWe see things apart from youNot just the outer shellBut deep inside as well.There lies the beauty you don’t seeUntil you look with eyes like weJudge not by outer sightsThat way never will be rightSee the oneness of all thingsIn spite of all appearancesThis is love that never changesRearranges only before your eyesNo surprise.See the truth.

The message of "oneness" is certainly apparent today. I can relate this to my life in various ways. When cutting back a bush by our house this week to make it "acceptable" and "beautiful" for the neighborhood, we found four baby birds in a nest. Could anything be more beautiful? So our bush sits uncut and "unacceptable" according to earthly "norms" until the youngsters take flight.

My favorite lines today are: "Beauty comes in many forms" and "See the oneness of all things In spite of all appearances."
